Geniune question for the LSBA members on here, has LSBA memebership dropped at all since the supporters club started?

That very true ... most people who post on here not thought of very highly .. to say the least

I believe that the Louisiana State Bar Associations membership, has remained constant despite the London Broncos starting their Official Supporters group.

It would be a dull world NB if we were all as self serving as you in accepting everything the club does. These sites wouldn't exist.

Ok if the LBSA membership has not been effected in anyway by the introduction of a club run supporters club, whats the problem? If it gets more folk communicating and interested in the club is that not good? Those that joined the supporters club obviously had not previously joined the LBSA chose not to for a reason or are members of both

WQ but why be insulting and downright rude about other supporters of the club? Is it a comment you would make face to face to those people? Or is it only something you would say hiding behind social media?
The folk who chose to join the supporters club, are no different than you, they are just passionate supporters of the club who choose to do there bit for the club there way.

NB you won't drag me in to the apologist group. I'm certainly not a key board warrior and distance myself from the 'No1 supporters'.

Indirectly they are part of the grassroots problem. It's difficult at times to introduce 'new supporters', let's leave it at that.

Not trying to drag you into anything. Just suggesting using directed insults at specific groups is unacceptable

In the Stoop days a few of us from a London non League football club watched Quins RL. One summer we brought a big group of first timers. At half time we were talking among ourselves about another fan who had taken up officiating and was expected to get the following years FA Cup Final. (He didn't but is a regular at the Euros and World Cup.) A well known Broncos fan turned round, started shouting who cares about Wendyball, football puffs etc.

Strangely none of the first timers ever came back.

Half you are exactly right. Fans abusing Saints chairman to his face, same one using repulsive language generally, it goes on and on.....As Ive said a small following gives them some form of identity. If they followed Wigan for example they would be one of 15000 so just another fan.
To make it worse we've now given them a platform to represent the club to the leadership. Frightening.
